AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER
TRENDING...

editor’s note
For want of a less cliche` term, Spring appears
to have finally sprung! Wedding season has
kicked off in a big way. Just ask any wedding
vendor - actually don’t, they’re too busy right
now! These springtime months are historically
the most popular for Sunshine Coast weddings
as it’s the sweet spot between the cool months
of winter and the stifling heat of our humid
summers. It’s definitely beach weather without
having to expose yourself as distinctly uncool
as you hop across the blistering hot sand.
As I sit in my home office, the feels of beach
barbecues, walks at twilight and reading under
a pandanus tree call to me. Living in a veritable
paradise sure has its drawbacks when in
fact you’re not on a perpetual holiday as the
weather strongly suggests one should be!

In this edition, we have some unique
inspiration for a springtime wedding. We
worked with some talented Sunshine Coast
vendors to create a styled shoot unlike
anything I’ve ever seen done here. That’s first
up in our articles, and swiftly followed by some
surprisingly stunning weddings achieved on
very modest budgets, and one for the girly
girls with a quintessentially pretty Maleny
styled shoot.
Happy wedding planning!
Love,

Behind the Scenes
The Brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tree team were
in serious awe of the fashion
events we were privileged to
attend recently. Judy Copleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Ethereal Romance runway show
took us to another world, and
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week
still has Sally picking her jaw up
off the floor.

entertainment, food and drink, and
prizes. Festival director, Khesanh
Brock says, “A Darling Affair has

style if you’re a modern, cool and
creative couple.”
